| book description |

‘Switched On’ is the first full-length history of British Pop Art, the movement that transformed the visual culture of post-war Britain and helped define the spirit of the 1960s. Through the lives and work of artists such as Eduardo Paolozzi, Peter Blake, Richard Hamilton and Pauline Boty, it reveals a movement shaped not only by mass media and consumer culture but by class, aspiration and social change. Set against the vibrant world of Swinging London, this book reconstructs a landscape populated by pop stars, film icons, wrestlers and fashion models, and shows how art and popular culture together reshaped modern Britain.
